Logging Time
The Times view is a calendar where you create and manage time entries. You can switch between day, week, and month views to see your logged hours, and entries are colour-coded to show whether they are billable. Navigate to Times using the sidebar. If you do not see it, ask your administrator to check that the Time Tracking module is enabled for your space.Creating a time entry
1
Open the Times view
Click Times in the main sidebar. The calendar opens in week view by default.
2
Open the entry dialog
Click any empty time slot on the calendar to open the entry dialog pre-filled with that date and time, or click + Log Time in the top-right corner to open a blank dialog.
3
Fill in the entry details
Complete the fields as needed (see the field reference below). At minimum, enter a duration and a date.
4
Save the entry
Click Save. The entry appears on the calendar immediately. Billable entries display a green badge showing the billable percentage.
Entry fields
Duration formats — Collabase accepts any of these:
1h 30m, 1:30, 90 (treated as minutes), or 1.5h. All formats are converted to minutes internally.Billable % over 100 — entering a value above 100 is intentional for round-up billing scenarios where clients are billed for more than the actual time logged. For example, a 45-minute call billed as a full hour would be
133%.Using the timer
The built-in timer lets you track time as you work instead of entering it manually after the fact.1
Start the timer
Click the Start Timer button at the top of the Times view. The button changes to a live counter showing elapsed time in HH:MM:SS format.
2
Work normally
The timer continues running in the background as you navigate around Collabase. The elapsed time is shown in the sidebar button so you always know it is active.
3
Stop the timer
Click the timer button again to stop it. The entry dialog opens automatically with the duration pre-filled based on the elapsed time.
4
Complete and save the entry
Fill in the remaining fields (task, project, account, etc.) and click Save. The entry is added to today’s calendar.
Only one timer can run at a time. Starting a new timer will prompt you to stop the current one first.
Editing and deleting entries
To modify or remove an existing entry:1
Find the entry on the calendar
Switch to the day, week, or month view that shows the entry. Entries are displayed as coloured blocks labelled with the description or task name.
2
Open the entry dialog
Click the entry block to open the edit dialog with all fields populated.
3
Make your changes or delete
Edit any field and click Save, or click Delete at the bottom of the dialog to remove the entry permanently.
Workload progress
If your administrator has set up a Workload Plan for you or your team, a progress bar appears at the top of each day column in the calendar. The bar shows how many hours you have logged against your daily target.- Grey bar — below target for the day.
- Green bar — target reached or exceeded.
Viewing billable status
Each calendar entry displays a small badge showing the billable percentage when Billable is on:- Green badge — entry is marked billable. The number shows the billable percentage (e.g.
100%or75%). - No badge — entry is non-billable.
